    That’s how I do it. Hadn’t validated the new 18” barrel on my Kimber .308, only sighted at 100yd last year. The other day I fired one shot at a hundy to confirm zero, then two shots at 300yd to measure actual drop.

    Can see the two shots at 300, well below the paper, bottom of paper being the aiming point as I wasn’t concerned about windage here. Target was on a bit of a lean.
